One thing that intrigues me about graphic novels in both libraries and bookstores (well, the ones I visit) is that the books are often shelved together, regardless of the topic, genre or age level.
Is this because there are relatively few of them at present? Or do they constitute a genre all of their own? Will they eventually be intermingled with the other books in their classification e.g. science fiction, teen fiction, crime fiction, reference etc?
Perhaps this is just a New Zealand phenomenon. Does this happen in your library or bookstore?
